Overview

The Scogings and those that married into (pre 1850) the Scogings line originate from Suffolk County, England. They worked the land as farmers and laborers as Suffolk County was agricultural country. Various spellings of the surname can be found over the centuries; Scoggins, Scoging, Scroggins, etc.. You should search all possible spellings in the database. My particular ancestor, William Bye Scogings, left England in 1859 and came to Utah.

The Mckenzie's originate from Kirkcudbright County, Scotland. It has been difficult to trace this line due to migration and parish records. The first half of the nineteenth century they were farmers. They leased a farm of 220 acres called Auchennines,near Dalbeattie. In the latter quarter of the nineteenth century my ancestor, Robert Mckenzie, worked as a granite polisher in Dalbeattie. He brought his family to Barre, Vermont in 1890. Barre has numerous granite quarries.
